Lastly, the Cebu workshop was conducted on November 27-28, 2015 at Quest Hotel Cebu City, Cebu. A total of 25 participants joined the workshop with representatives from the two municipalities namely Tudela and Tabuelan, the Provincial Government of Cebu and the Provincial DILG as well. The workshop utilized the design thinking process to develop technology-based and innovative platforms at the provincial level to improve relationships and increase opportunities for feedback loops between citizens and governments, with the OpenBuB portal as the basis for reporting, monitoring, and feedback of local BuB implementers and partners. The Design Thinking Process requires participants to empathize with the beneficiaries, define the problem, ideate solutions, prototype projects/programs and test the prototypes. The first day of the workshop was designed for the first two steps. The participants were requested to share experiences of what worked and what did not work in the BuB reporting process. Grounded by their experiences, they were then asked to define the problem through an idea/problem map to identify the root causes of the problem. Day Two was focused on seeking innovative solutions and developing prototypes to solve identified problems. The participants had the opportunity to give feedback and improve their ideas during the workshop. It ended with a presentation of 2 proposed solutions, one for BuB planning and implementation and another one for BuB reporting. For Surigao del Norte, the prototypes developed are BuB Reporting 911 (hotline for CSOs and inter-LGU feedback for BuB reporting and implementation), BuB Reporting Compilation (a consolidated list of BuB reporting requirements from the national government), and Capacity Training for CSOs (communication and negotiation, community mobilization, project management, data handling and management and computer training skills). For Abra, the prototypes are ABRA (Access to BuB Reports for Abra, simplified communication through mobile for BuB reporting) and BuB Desk (setting up of a team to specifically accommodate to all matters relating to BuB). Lastly, for Cebu, the prototypes are CEBU (Collective Efforts for BuB Undertakings, use of currently available “Barangay E-Systems & Tools (BEST)� platform for BuB monitoring and reporting) and SUGBU (Sustainable & Unified Gains on BuB Undertakings, a detailed system for project reporting, implementation and monitoring).

The TWG aimed to map out and harmonize the existing programs and services of different stakeholders- such as national government agencies, local government agencies, private sector, and civil society organizations-- for overseas Filipinos and migrant families. Mapping out the program sites of the represented agencies brings the body one step closer to facilitating the sharing of financial, technical, and human resources in mobilizing migrant investment for the development of the migration stakeholders, linking local government units to other stakeholders, and facilitating convergence towards mainstreaming migration initiatives. The TWG meeting also became a venue for the represented agencies to forward policy recommendations that will enable them to strengthen and replicate localized implementation of programs into other LGUs, which will be forwarded to the Sub-committee on International Migration and Development, under the National Economic Development Authority. The TWG meeting was conducted under the “Scaling Up Initiatives in Mobilizing Migrant Resources towards Agricultural Development� project, which is co-implemented by ULAP and Atikha through a grant support from the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).

ULAP and Ateneo conduct Lessons Learned and Monitoring Session, and Round Table Discussion on Evidence-Informed Policymaking in Education
The Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines (ULAP) and the Ateneo de Manila University Political Science Department conducted Lessons Learned and Monitoring Session, and Round Table Discussion on Evidence-Informed Policymaking (EIPM) in Education in the provinces of Nueva Vizcaya and Samar. ULAP conducted the Lessons Learned and Monitoring Session for evidence-informed policymaking (EIPM) in education last August 27 in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya; and September 1 in Catbalogan, Samar. The monitoring session served as a follow-through of the capacity building for EIPM conducted together with the Ateneo de Manila University from March to June 2015. During the said event, ULAP documented the milestones in EIPM application achieved by those who completed the capacity building, and identify further needs in continuing practicing EIPM. Mayor Melchor Nacario of the Municipality of Calbiga, Mayor Francisco Langi Sr. and Vice Mayor Aldwin Langi of the Municipality of Motiong, and Samar DepEd School Governance and Operation Division Chief Claire Menda were among the participants of the lessons learned and monitoring sessions. Previous training participants from the provincial and municipal governments and local DepEd also invited their colleagues to attend the monitoring sessions to be familiarized with the EIPM projects currently being implemented in their localities. The lessons learned and monitoring session served as a venue for stakeholders to speak to each other again after the technical training and share their experiences, achievements, and concerns in applying evidence-informed policymaking in education. Particularly, participants expressed how the technical training for EIPM led them to explore existing sources and methods of gathering data (e.g. Community Based Monitoring System, National Achievement Test results and completion rate from schools), with consciousness that doing so will lead them to solutions that respond to the education-needs of their localities. Moreover, the participants have reviewed their plans and budgets for the coming year to ensure that those are responsive to the actual needs of the community. Because of the participants’ increased awareness on the role and importance of evidence in education policymaking, they were able to identify further areas of concern relevant to their localities, such as the increasing workload of teachers identified through time-on-task monitoring, and foreseen need for additional facilities and infrastructures (e.g. classrooms, dormitories, access roads) to accommodate the influx of students due to the implementation of the Senior High School program, among others.

Councilor Kirk Asis, ULAP Assistant Secretary General, welcomed a total of 45 participants from 14 provinces and 6 cities across Regions II, III, IV-A, IV-B, V, and NCR in the workshop. Section 4 of RA10023 deals with untitled lands actually occupied and possessed by the Local Government Units and National Government Agencies for public use and/or purpose. Since the passage of the law in 2010, two Implementing Rules and Regulation were effected concerning residential public lands and untitled lands occupied and possessed by public school institutions. The purpose of the workshop is to gather initial data on the untitled lands occupied by the LGUs and NGA and to discuss possible issues and concerns that can be reflected in the draft IRR. The proposed IRR shall enable the LGUs and NGA to have these lands titled in their respective names. ULAP Executive Director Czarina Medina-Guce moderated the workshop. ULAP was able to gather initial data (list of untitled lands) from the participating LGUs and issues concerning the implementation of the law from the participants. Moreover, ULAP came up with a White Paper on Local Government Issues and Needs in Land Acquisition and Titling Process. This knowledge product was given to Department of Environment and Natural Resources for the creation of the IRR on Section 4 of RA 10023.

Design Thinking Seminar Workshop co-organized by ULAP
“The central task of education is to implant A WILL and A FACILITY FOR LEARNING; It should produce NOT LEARNED but LEARNING PEOPLE…” – These were the words of Sarah Stein Greenberg of the Stanford Design School during the Design Thinking Seminar Workshop held on August 19, 2015, Wednesday, from 2 to 5 pm at the JV del Rosario Conference Room, AIM Conference Center, Makati City. This joint venture of the Association of Foundations (AF), Jollibee Group Foundation (JGF) and the Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines (ULAP) brought together innovators and solution-seekers to discuss the concept of “design thinking”, which is an emergent idea generation and stakeholder engagement tool. The Institute of Design at Stanford (Stanford d.School) promotes the concept of Design Thinking – an approach of co-creation and can be characterized as the discipline of melding the sensibility and methods of a designer with what is technologically feasible to meet people’s real-world needs. This definition highlights the tools and practices of forming teams, running specific design projects, powering organizations, and shaping innovative new products or services. Design Thinking is prominent among startup technology companies but is also increasingly applied in innovations in the delivery of public services such as health equipment affordable to low income communities.

ULAP joins the Linaw Tingin Program Presentation in La Union, Benguet and Laguna with PhilHealth and partners
The Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines (ULAP), in support of the plans to expand Tarlac’s Linaw Tingin Program to other provinces, assisted the Department of Health (DOH), Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) and the Philippine Academy of Ophthalmology (PAO) in reaching out to other provinces and cities, especially those with high incidence of cataract. Among the identified sites, the Provincial Governments of La Union, Benguet and Laguna have signified their intentions to know more about the Linaw Tingin and the possibility of replication in their provinces. Also present during the presentation are representatives of PAO, Tarlac Provincial Government (TPG), Philhealth, and Regional Offices I, CAR and IV-A. The presentation of the program in La Union was done on October 5, 2015 during the Provincial Government of La Union’s cabinet meeting which was attended by the heads of the different departments of the province, including the Provincial Administrator and the Provincial Health Office. On the other hand, in the Province of Benguet, Governor Nestor Fongwan met the team on October 6, 2015, together with his PHO and other staff. Local Ophthalmologists from Baguio and Benguet have fully supported this program. At the same time, they have also presented to the group their local project called the Baguio Eye Care Program, which they wish to be implemented as well in Benguet province. On October 26, 2015, the team headed to Provincial Government of Laguna. The Laguna Medical Center, an LGU hospital, represented by its Chief explained that there were initial plans before of creating an eye program that shall address the eye diseases in Laguna. However, it did not materialize due to absence of ophthalmologists, optometrists and health champions. The local chapter of PAO and Southern Tagalog Society of Ophthalmologists (STSO) extended their assistance to the province of Laguna and are willing to help address the lack of human resources. One of the solutions to start the possible implementation of this program is that the province can request DOH for the equipment while Philhealth will reimburse the payment of the professional fees. The “Linaw Tingin” program, launched in 2011, is a Comprehensive Provincial Eye Care Program by the Provincial Government of Tarlac that aims to reduce the prevalence of avoidable blindness through the provision of quality eye care consistently and continuously. This was achieved through a Public-Private Partnership between the Provincial Government providing infrastructure, equipment, nursing and support staff, and private eye professionals that brought in their service, technical know-how and expertise. The “Linaw Tingin” program received a Galing Pook award in 2014, recognizing it as a model for sustainable and equitable provincial eye care program.
